The NotWedding is not your typical bridal show. They select their favorite vendors and throw a big fake wedding! By doing this, it allows the “wedding guests” to really experience some of the city’s top wedding vendors in action. This year the NotWedding was held in Atlanta on April 5, and Carrie sent me these beautiful photos to share with you guys! I really love this idea because it gives you a chance to hear the music, see the dress, taste the cake, etc before the big day. They also picked some of the best vendors to work with. There were five “weddings” during the event, and each wedding had a bride and groom and a reception table, all consistent with each wedding’s theme. I love the themes they choose and think these photos provide lots of amazing inspiration, plus the photos are by some of my favorite photographers, Our Labor of Love. See more photos and learn about all the amazing vendors on their website and blog.
